You'll notice the badge at the bottom of their website with an A+ rating from Better Business Bureau, but what do their reviews say?

Gitmeid Law Reviews

Let's take a look at their reviews on a few different platforms! It can be difficult to decide what to do when there are a plethora of positive and negative reviews.

Better Business Bureau Reviews

On Better Business Bureau, they have a 4.75 rating out of 5-stars, based on 770 reviews.

Their positive reviews are short, sweet, and to the point. But what about their negative reviews?

In reading their negative BBB reviews, customers report feeling misled by Gitmeid Law's services. Their complaints include hidden fees, increasing payments, and being unknowingly signed up for high-interest loans. Some claim the company failed to mention crucial details, while others faced delays, lack of communication, and difficulty canceling services. Several reviewers advise working directly with creditors or seeking financial counseling instead, as fees often cancel out any savings from reducing their debt. Many express frustration over feeling their financial situation was made worse due to working with the company.

Google Reviews

On Google, they have a 4.4 rating out of 5 stars, based on over 1,200 reviews.

They have overwhelmingly positive and glowing reviews on Google, but in taking a look at the negative reviews, there are some interesting implications...

In taking a look at their negative reviews, more than one person mentions noticing that their positive Google reviews skyrocketed over a very short period of time, implying that many could be fake.

When it comes to their actual experiences, reviewers mention feeling misled - thinking they were consolidating debt only to end up dealing with poor communication, unexpected legal trouble, and financial losses. Many say the company took their money and then stopped responding, leaving them with court judgments, frozen funds, and damaged credit. The general consensus? Based on these client experiences, the company seems more focused on making money than truly helping clients.

TrustPilot Reviews

On TrustPilot, while this profile does not seem to be claimed by Gitmeid Law - they currently have a 4.7 rating out of 5-stars based on 85 reviews.

To start, their recent positive reviews are very complimentary of both their customer service and overall experience.

Looking at their negative reviews, you’ll see a very different side of the story. Many customers recommend negotiating directly with creditors instead of using a debt settlement company. One reviewer even claims, "they destroy your credit score."

To clarify, Gitmeid Law isn't directly ruining credit scores, but part of the debt settlement process involves stopping payments, which leads to delinquency and lowers credit scores. While this is a common strategy to push creditors into negotiation, many companies fail to explain this clearly - leaving customers feeling misled.

The calculator will show you three different loan options and even give you an estimated cost for other debt consolidation methods, like non-profit credit counseling, which can help reduce interest rates through an agency.

Consider Non-Profit Counseling

If you don’t qualify for a debt consolidation loan, non-profit credit counseling could be a great alternative. It’s a free or low-cost service that pairs you with a credit counselor who helps you understand your debt and create a plan to lower your payments and interest rates. (This is also one of the options mentioned in the calculator above!)
